U.S. it appears that act of revenge by Iran was foiled when President Trump attended that NATO summit in Turkey, a country that borders Iran. With the ceasefire over, earlier today, Israeli forces stopped a plot of their own. Troops from the IDF's Galani Division spotted Hezbollah fighters bringing anti tank missiles into a building the southern Lebanon buffer zone. The IDF watched the terrorists bring these rounds into the building. They waited until the terrorists were all inside and leveled the building. The IDF said secondary explosions were seen afterwards. Recall last month Hezbollah fired similar anti tank rounds at an Israeli Merkava tank, killing all four soldiers inside.

One of the videos was captured just last year by the US Pacific Comm. The footage was taken on January 1st over the yellow Sea and it shows an unidentified object that looks like a six point star. President Trump has demanded transparency regarding unidentified flying objects, aerial phenomena and alien life. But the Pentagon has previously said they found no evidence of aliens or extraterrestrial intelligence. They've suggested other reasons for these unresolved cases, including lack of sufficient data. They say the private sector is welcome to provide their own expertise and in the meantime, they will continue to release new files in the coming weeks on a rolling basis.

the White House is planning to audit the Smithsonian's cultural organizations that receive federal funding.

A scathing 162 page report accuses the Smithsonian Institution and the National Museum of American History in particular of extreme political activism. Titled Saving America's story. The report is the first product of President Trump's March executive order calling for an audit of all cultural institutions that receive federal funding. In it, the Smithsonian leadership is charged with promoting ideas like open borders and transgender advocacy. Despite the American History Museum commemorating the country's 250th anniversary, the report claims that America's founding fathers are hardly featured and introduced chiefly through their connection to slavery.

We've got a great update coming out of southeastern Missouri today. 351 rescues 2, 200 of those summer campers, children, a camp that definitely is a place where kids want to go to enjoy. But of course, Mother Nature bringing in this flooding rain. And it was just overwhelming. We had anywhere from a 3 to 19 foot water rise along the Black river in the early morning hours on Friday. Those campers all brought up into the dining hall and unfortunately, they were stuck. The roads around that camp were washed away. The water too high for emergency vehicles. And so Blackhawks and choppers had to go in there.
